It's been a long while since I registered and my first post. I was a member of late unlamented and lamented e-Sangha. For some reason, I had not checked it for a time (maybe a week or two) , typed in the URL to find it gone. It was not long after that that I found Dharma Wheel. Not entirely sure why it took so long for me to post other than a lousy computer that did not handle some sites well and some personal challenges like the death of my mom and the taking in of her Shih Tzu as well a mild stoke a year ago. I have pretty much recovered from the stroke except that my handwriting is perhaps not as fast as it used to be.

It is so nice to see to many names I recognize from e-Sangha. I hope to learn a lot and that I'll make in friends in the Dharma.
